Section IV - TCP/IP
∙Some BOOTP servers will write their internal bootptab tables to a file when they receive a SIGUSR1 signal. You can check this file to verify the hardware and IP ad- dress are correct. You can use the kill com- mand to send signals. For example,
kill
∙Check the system’s syslog file. Some BOOTP servers will write error messages into the syslog file.
Example:
Sep 6 14:38:43 bootpd[17565]: hardware address not found:
004068175042
This message appears when the BOOTP server received a request from a device not in its internal bootptab tables.
